Just based on some of your other comments I really have to ask the question.
"you wouldn't see me anywhere NEAR an Audi showroom" - then WHAT have you wasted your time posting up to nearly 2,000 posts on an Audi website then??
I just understand why anyone would do that!?
I fail to see what's so difficult to grasp.
I'll try putting it more simply though.
What I said was,if I was SPENDING MY OWN MONEY,I wouldn't buy an Audi.
I probably wouldn't spend £20+K on any car though,if it were my own money.
As it was,I was 'spending' my employers' money.
He gives me a budget of £25K(ish),so it is in my interests to spend up to that amount.
I don't gain anything if I go for a cheaper car.
I wanted a 159,but they weren't available at the start of '05.
I also thought about the new Lexus diesel,same problem.
I stupidly ignored BMW because of prejudice.
So I chose an A3 sportback,assuming it would at least be as reliable as the A4 I had for 3 years previous,and have been driving it for 20 indifferent months,in between regular visits to the dealer.
I am therefore entitled to post on here,wouldn't you say ?
I don't recall any rules saying;
A/ The car should be yours
B/ You should like the car
